Gorman's penstemon- Penstemon gormanii

            Penstemon, the beardtongues, is the largest genus of flowering plants endemic to North America.  Penstemon have partly tube-shaped, and two-lipped flowers. The most distinctive feature of the genus is the prominent staminode, an infertile stamen, that is typically a long straight filament extending to the mouth of the corolla, some are longer and extremely hairy, giving the general appearance of an open mouth with a fuzzy tongue protruding and inspiring the common name of "beardtongue". The native range of the pictured Gorman's penstemon is Alaska to Northern British Columbia. It grows on dry sandy or gravelly sites. I have seen this flower in a range of colours from light pink to blue and purple.
